There is a popular saying that “no man is an island”. This statement simply means as humans we are interdependent on each other for so many reasons and so many things. There is indeed a limit to the amount of knowledge one can acquire on his or her own because there is a lot to learn concerning this world.
It is for this reason that most people form groups to share information and learn from one another in a bid to better their lot in life. The same should therefore apply to the individual who seeks success in any field.
This is also part of the reason formal education was started – to impart knowledge on different subjects to the growing child who later in life would take fancy to what he or she is interested in doing.
Networking provides many advantages to people. One advantage is the enormity of resources available to the seeker of information. From constant interaction with members of his or her group, he or she is able to acquire a wealth of knowledge on issues that would have taken months or even years to learn.
A second advantage for such an individual will be to realize that everyone including even the most successful person in the group has stories of difficulties to tell on the road to achievement.
Some people think some are born to achieve and that is why success comes easily to them and is elusive to others. Not at all! Success is a series of planned activities that has resulted in what everyone now observes as an achiever.
As I have come to realize from my experience, there is no shortcut to success. It must be deliberately and constantly sought after by anyone who hopes to find it.
A third benefit for the person who networks with others is to see that different people have diverse opinions on the same issues and you get to appreciate that diversity especially if you hope to start a business to win customers.
People do not think the same way and when you realize that, you are better able to tailor your products and services to suit different customer categories.
It can therefore be seen that networking provides a powerful platform upon which one can build to great achievement. Regardless of what your goal in life is, take time to build networks and relationships that would pay off multiple folds as you progress.
At a time in one’s life also, you would be required to share your experiences to help build other newbies who are in need of valuable information to start their businesses or whatever endeavor.
A former American President Theodore Roosevelt is quoted as saying that “the single most important ingredient for success is knowing how to get along with others”. Ex-President Woodrow Wilson is also quoted as saying, “ I not only use all the brains that I have but all that I can borrow”.
Of course you cannot be friends with everyone just because you are seeking achievement. You can show respect to everyone who comes your way but what you should do deliberately is to seek out those whose interests match yours and that would be a good point from which to start.
A good place to start would be online where you have different forums on different issues where you can gain a wealth of information. All you have to do is go a search engine and type your area of interest in the search box with maybe something like “forum on XXXXXX” where XXXXX is your particular area of interest. A list of websites would open where you can study and choose one, join and then interact with others.
Do you seek achievement in any endeavor? Start now to look for those whose interests match yours, learn from them and climb the ladder of success with less stress.
There you have another wealth secret!
